Chris Freely *update - I fixed the leak it was fairly easy and the part was only $9 to fix it not sure whether or not to keep it or flip it for an easy $1200
You're being a super cool dude to sell that for $1,000. I sure in the hell wish that I could have found a car like that when I was right out of high school
I bought a saturn about 9 years ago for $350 with only 80k miles "Needing a steering rack" ended up being just a tierod end I dropped $60 into it and sold it next day for $3400. I have flipped many many many vehicles. That Honda is exactly the type to do so. I try to double my money including all parts and initial cost. Dont always but its the rule of thumb I go by when looking/buying

Hah, you're the calmest mechanic I've ever seen! Yes, Hondas' go on & on if one just takes the time for simple maintenance, change the oil regularly, flush radiator, change plugs, etc. I had a '91 Civic LX, gave it to a family member. Putt putt on....
I’ve never seen someone make repairs look so easy, which seem impossible for me to do. I was just transfixed watching you quickly fix all sorts of things that I need to do myself, but dread doing.
JR: My expertise is in cosmetic restoration - interiors and paint. I have little to no idea what you are doing in these videos but I love watching you do it.
I love the way you open the car door for her. chivalry is so lost today. Let me give you some advice that you'll ignore until it's too late. Try to minimize the time you spend *leaning over* a car's engine. It's really tough on the discs in your back. Drive the car up on ramps first or whatever's required so you don't do long-term damage to your spine. I wish someone had told me that sooner.
I wish someone had told me this a lot earlier in my career. Started working on cars at 16 I'm 33 now and my back sounds like the tin man every morning. Creeeeeeek pop n then I can move lol
Nice Volkswagen R8 in the background. I have one too. The V12 in it is so fast, especially when Vtech kicks in around 7k rpms. Its basically a Ferrari.
I really like that you always open/hold the door for Amberghini! As my late mother always said: It doesn't cost much to be polite. All the best to you. Looking forward to the next one.
My coworker bought a Honda crx for $800 and flipped in the next two days for $2000. But be carefully, if you flipped 3 cars or more in one month, the states will come asking for your license to sell cars. There’s this one guy that worked with my cousin sold 3 cars in one month, the state came asking for his license and he didn’t have one so they fined him 5 thousand for not having a license to sell cars.
I learned to drive in a 2002 Civic LX and hearing it start up brought back some memories! That thing overheated sooo many times...but it kept coming back!
That was the first "Hot Swap" I have seen with a coil pack. I was told the pops the computer never do it. But that was also 25 years ago too. Good Job.
It’s been years since I had an old car to Wrench on so Last month I bought a 1997 Honda accord to save miles on my Duramax . And I’ve had so much fun they’re so easy to work on and maintain.
I have three Honda Accords and one Honda Civic that all need engine work. So glad I found your channel. You have provided a lot of good info for me to follow.
It was this video that hooked me on your channel. Got me n my daughter back into flippin cars til they all became 2500.. been a fan ever since. Keep it up. Ps. I borrowed your outro on my videos for my rv dealership.
Sup man. So I stumbled on this video when looking for answers on my 2000 Honda civic that is starting to fall apart. Had no idea we were neighbors kind of. I lived behind Gabe and realized when I seen the Opel. Good luck in building this up. Seen a few videos now and they're a great watch.
My ‘01 LX 2 door I’ve had since I was 16 and it was brand new. About the same mileage - runs like a Swiss watch. Love that car. Can count the number of problems I’ve had with it on one hand. My 2011 BMW 335is, not so much 🤣 Great channel and content - keep up the good work!
186k miles is only the break in period, we had one go over 300k miles and still ran perfect. The only thing that stop it was someone stole it and crashed into a tree.
The thing I really like about your flips is that you are actually trying to do a good job of fixing things. Some flippers will band aid major issues with a car and basically scam innocent buyers. That's really messed up. The average person buying a $1200 car needs it to commute to work and wouldn't have the funds or resources to fix the blown head gasket a flipper would just dump a bunch of fix-in-a-bottle into.
New subscriber here, this is the first video I watched of yours and I like that you work like a flat rate auto tech... sense of urgency, finding work arounds (ie, NOT taking out the EGR if you dont have to, etc.), preferring power tools to hand tools, not running unnecessary diagnostics, plugging in scanners or anything.. just pull the coil connectors one at a time, easy peasy. You dont waste time, but yet still take the time to clean the valve cover because dammit, the customer can see that. I know cuz I used be a flat rate tech and thats how we work. Good stuff
My family has had hondas for years. Many accords and one civic; an 03. All have been stock. Right now we have a 99 accord and a 14 accord. They will run well over 222k.
My husband is still driving his Honda 1982 Prelude. Unfortunately, my 1990 Honda Accord died an early death in 1997 due to transmission problems. Replaced it with a 1997 Toyota Avalon XLS. It turned 22 years old yesterday and still runs fabulously!
Your Honda's are barely broken in compared to my Saturn's . 2001 LW300 with 393k miles on the original engine and drivetrain. Only thing that doesn't work is the cassette player. 2009 Astra with 304 K. Runs and drives fine.
I drive a 1998 green Honda CIvic EX like this one but 2 dr. coup and stick shift. It has only 55,000 miles on it. I drove it off the lot with 8 miles 25 years ago. It's the most wonderful car I've ever had. I hope this one lives up to it only it isn't in as good condition.

What a fun video to watch! As a 2013 civic owner, it’s nice to see you fix that one up for a new owner. I need to take and auto shop class from a community college or something-I don’t know much about fixing cars at all but would love to learn.
Hi. Just suggesting. If you can go to the junk yard and get all cosmetic for under $100. You would it make an extra $250. That's what I did. Cheers. Great work
The shot of the hdmi port civic you guys used is legitimately my car. The trunk is dipped, the “I eat ass” sticker, the whole 9 yards. I just had to point that out! Btw, I’m also the LS swap removal tech at J&J Auto Wrecking! What a small world!
Tip. If there is oil on the manifold or another bare metal surface and it isn't directly over something delicate, you can get the oil of super easy with brake clean. Just be careful around parts that the brake clean might eat away or dissolve. I use this on the cooling find of my mower and on my car engine manifolds when oil drops while I'm working on it. I just take it easy around gaskets and rubber.
Got a thank you letter from JR's sis in response to small donation i made to her campaign for cancer patients. Didn't expect that! The struggle is real and it is awesome that there are some who think about more than just themselves. Respect.
Nicely done, especially for the cost. I was never really a fan of Honda Civics until I actually owned one and since then I've owned 2. Sold one for close to what I paid for it and put a lot of work into the other and it runs like new again despite having well over 200k miles on it. I can't believe how inexpensive parts are for these cars.
I thought that orange honda in the dealership looked familiar... Good job, I got my 03 civic in September of 2019, same notorious oil leak, plus a crumbling air filter housing to carburetor gasket. Spent a couple of hours at LKQ for some splash guards.
I love selling honda's... I would of blacked out the peeling trim and fixed the gas cap door and hub caps and tinted it... then send it for 1950.oo ...I use to make a living at this so much i had to get a dealers license! I miss it ! Seeing your videos inspire me to do it again just as a hobbyist though...! Thanks for the videos, great job!
$1300 for the fully running honda is very good deal. Whatever profit for what you do is very fair., and you are helping earth by repairing old disfunctional car to be useful for someone else. Worst thing is mostly good cars being sent to junkyard and meeting crusher
No worries about the high pressure washer. Every engine bay I hae ever done probably hundreds I have used high pressure soap and rinse. Just leave the engine running and well just dont like spray the fuse box or well anything else that doesnt like water.
Original Price $300 + The official Honda gasket, Plugs, Coil Packs, Valve Cover Gasket w/Bolt Grommets (Estimated) $300. 'More labor than expected' but, you looked liek a Surgeon doing it. I Laughed so hard at the You Must Drop A Bolt Joke! Sold for $1,250 totally worth that and Total profit in 1 day around $650! I might start doing this!! Awesome! Great Video!
350 dollar estimated prices wtf? I think you Americans might be getting ripped off.Because I just checked up my local parts store and all of them combined only costed 100€ OEM! The cheapest ones and it would've been less than 50 euros combined.
my 2003 es8 has over 350,000 miles. . drove it without the radiator for like 10 miles. . engine overheat and cut off. . .write it off like 4 times and completely destroyed it. . . and the engine still works perfect
*Phone Rings* "Hello?" "Hey yeah it's the guy you just sold that Honda to." "Okay, what's up? Did you forget something?" "No, I had to pull over on the highway, the engine overheated bad and..." *Hangs up* *Blocks number*
Should have checked through and removed coil packs before parts run. Knew that valve cover would be shot, seeping oil into plugs, plus oil is all over right side. We all been there running back and forth tho, it’s always more than it seams, u got where you wanted to go. Nice
awesome video! I"m in the process of flipping a 2009 nissan versa I bought from a relative for 500. can't wait to fix it up and get it cleaned up. its running on 2 cylinders. I love honda's though right now i'm getting my crx back on the road.
How does titling work in Kansas? - Did the previous owner sign the title over to you, requiring you to register it, pay tax and insurance - that would mess things up financially - how did you get around that?
@@WatchJRGo It must have come down to mileage for ya yes?....i always sell the car with the highest mileage myself ( even tho 200,000+ is the new 100,000)..but im sure that was the ONLY factor in your decision....i can see that now...
There is a SERIOUS water leak in the cabin. So much condensation is visible running down the interior of the glass. That explains the sagging headliner. I'd check the drains on that sunroof if I was you. Prolly smells a bit ripe in there too. haha!

Hi. Just suggesting. If you can go to the junk yard and get all cosmetic for under $100. You would it make an extra $250. That's what I did. Cheers. Great work
I love the cars you don't even have to change the oil on - just keep adding more to replace what it leaks or burns. Such simple maintenance! :P
What I would do in addition: clean the headlights, change struts and brakes, new hub caps and sell it for $2000
The shot of the hdmi port civic you guys used is legitimately my car. The trunk is dipped, the “I eat ass” sticker, the whole 9 yards. I just had to point that out! Btw, I’m also the LS swap removal tech at J&J Auto Wrecking! What a small world!
this guy does more to a used car than a dealer.
Good on you mate, I've been to dealerships with crap that's way over priced.glad there is some good people in this world.
Interesting. My Dodge 4.7 has the same seal setup on its valve cover bolts.
Tip. If there is oil on the manifold or another bare metal surface and it isn't directly over something delicate, you can get the oil of super easy with brake clean. Just be careful around parts that the brake clean might eat away or dissolve. I use this on the cooling find of my mower and on my car engine manifolds when oil drops while I'm working on it. I just take it easy around gaskets and rubber.
Learned a long time ago, never buy a car that's had an engine "detail" usually means they are hiding something.
And this video showed me some of the things to look for to avoid buying a flipped car.
Got a thank you letter from JR's sis in response to small donation i made to her campaign for cancer patients. Didn't expect that! The struggle is real and it is awesome that there are some who think about more than just themselves. Respect.
Litteraly everything I touched on my 91 accord shouldnt have worked when i got it with 300,000 miles. 400 in parts and its still goin at 360,000
Nicely done, especially for the cost. I was never really a fan of Honda Civics until I actually owned one and since then I've owned 2. Sold one for close to what I paid for it and put a lot of work into the other and it runs like new again despite having well over 200k miles on it. I can't believe how inexpensive parts are for these cars.
This channel has the best variety of content.
I thought that orange honda in the dealership looked familiar... Good job, I got my 03 civic in September of 2019, same notorious oil leak, plus a crumbling air filter housing to carburetor gasket. Spent a couple of hours at LKQ for some splash guards.
Replacing that camshaft cover is kinda similar to my field of work. Dr. Anus Phingerer, MD
I love selling honda's... I would of blacked out the peeling trim and fixed the gas cap door and hub caps and tinted it... then send it for 1950.oo ...I use to make a living at this so much i had to get a dealers license! I miss it ! Seeing your videos inspire me to do it again just as a hobbyist though...! Thanks for the videos, great job!
He said finagle. Thats all I needed for a good day.
$1300 for the fully running honda is very good deal. Whatever profit for what you do is very fair., and you are helping earth by repairing old disfunctional car to be useful for someone else. Worst thing is mostly good cars being sent to junkyard and meeting crusher
Ha, Tyler’s abandoned road has that affect on fuel doors 😂
I need some more $300 fix and flip cars in my life...
No worries about the high pressure washer. Every engine bay I hae ever done probably hundreds I have used high pressure soap and rinse. Just leave the engine running and well just dont like spray the fuse box or well anything else that doesnt like water.
Timing belt needs replacement also again at that mileage.
This Honda has more than a 100,000 miles left in it 💯💯💯💯💯💯💖
Original Price $300 + The official Honda gasket, Plugs, Coil Packs, Valve Cover Gasket w/Bolt Grommets (Estimated) $300. 'More labor than expected' but, you looked liek a Surgeon doing it. I Laughed so hard at the You Must Drop A Bolt Joke! Sold for $1,250 totally worth that and Total profit in 1 day around $650! I might start doing this!! Awesome! Great Video!
350 dollar estimated prices wtf? I think you Americans might be getting ripped off.Because I just checked up my local parts store and all of them combined only costed 100€ OEM! The cheapest ones and it would've been less than 50 euros combined.
You should do more quick flips, you are king of the quick flips. It makes a great video too!
I got a 5 second O'Rilies ad the second he said "let's go into O'Rilies."
Lol I got a coinbase dogecoin ad before a video where a guy survived on dogecoin
my 2003 es8 has over 350,000 miles. . drove it without the radiator for like 10 miles. . engine overheat and cut off. . .write it off like 4 times and completely destroyed it. . . and the engine still works perfect
*Phone Rings*
"Hello?"
"Hey yeah it's the guy you just sold that Honda to."
"Okay, what's up? Did you forget something?"
"No, I had to pull over on the highway, the engine overheated bad and..."
*Hangs up*
*Blocks number*
Buyer then proceeds to show up at sellers house later that night with his boys, and steals his $1,250 back.

Changing the valve cover gasket doesn't stop the oil leak in the spark plug sockets, that would be the lower oil seals under the valves.
Gotta be careful on the transmissions on the 01-05 civics and accords with 4 cylinders.
We not using standart transmission anymore..we use close ratio by spoons...
The manuals are awesome i had one hold 285 with no issues.
Should have checked through and removed coil packs before parts run. Knew that valve cover would be shot, seeping oil into plugs, plus oil is all over right side.
We all been there running back and forth tho, it’s always more than it seams, u got where you wanted to go.
Nice
Should get that Fiero running and sell it to help the R8 funds! 😂😂
awesome video! I"m in the process of flipping a 2009 nissan versa I bought from a relative for 500. can't wait to fix it up and get it cleaned up. its running on 2 cylinders. I love honda's though right now i'm getting my crx back on the road.
How does titling work in Kansas? - Did the previous owner sign the title over to you, requiring you to register it, pay tax and insurance - that would mess things up financially - how did you get around that?
He probably "skipped" the title.
Yeah just have the sellers signature. Don't sign the title. When you sell it, give the title to the new person.
Fitting for being your most viewed video. Absolutely perfect❗️💯
R8-Honda Civic....R8-Honda Civic.....R8-Honda Civic.....and you sell the Honda?????? wtf were you thinkin?
Mistakes Were Made 😂
@@WatchJRGo It must have come down to mileage for ya yes?....i always sell the car with the highest mileage myself ( even tho 200,000+ is the new 100,000)..but im sure that was the ONLY factor in your decision....i can see that now...
I'm really surprised to see these old car not so rusty. Here in Canada after 15y+ most car start to break apart from rust.
It does not snow too much in his area of Kansas
It was so cute how you opened the door for her 😂💙
AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill playing in the background when you were cleaning the valve cover was a good touch lol
The way you worked so fast gabe me anxiety like slow down and enjoy damn 😂😭
Assassin_Redeye looking for that comment
There is a SERIOUS water leak in the cabin. So much condensation is visible running down the interior of the glass. That explains the sagging headliner. I'd check the drains on that sunroof
if I was you. Prolly smells a bit ripe in there too. haha!
Everything is always “real quick” with J-R 😂 Love this channel 👍
Also, I had the same issue with that little plastic cam seal. Super easy to change out. I also did the valve cover gasket. Also easy. No leaks 👍🏼
